SG Book Mart reopens Student Government will again sponsor a Book Mart this spring. Curt Marsh, former vice president of finance, says it will give students the opportunity to save money on used textbooks and to make money on their own old books. Starting May 7 and running through May 16, used books can be taken to Room 216 of the MSC and sold for 60 percent of their original value. Only those textbooks that will be used again will be bought. The books will be sold for 65 per cent of their original value, with the 5 percent margin of profit being used to handle labor costs, said Marsh. By utilizing the Book Mart, stu dents can get the most out of their dollars spent on texts, he said. Local stores, including the MSC Books tore, Loupots, and the University Bookstore, only pay 50 percent of the original value for used books, and charge 75 percent when the books are resold. The Book Mart will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Room 216, A, B, and E. in the MSC.

They are very serious about keeping track of time. They want to know tbe time that the department head spends in teaching and re search as compared to the percen tage of funds that the department gets in federal dollars.” Williams added that the federal government will soon be investigat ing the department heads for cases of “unethical practice.” “If any of you are doing anything that could be construed as unethical, however the government decides to define THAT, I would suggest that you HAPPY COTTAGE 1 HAPPY COTTAGE mxixrm 809 E. 29th 3 blocks from City National Bank FOR MOTHER’S DAY MAY 11th GIVE A GIFT OR JEWELRY THAT IS DIFFERENT 10% Discount on $5.00 Purchase with this coupon The Best Pizza in Town (Honest) and all this: LUNCHEON SPECIAL (Mon.-Fri.)

Williams also said, “We are an open institution. A university is easy to attack, easy to criticize, so most efforts to gain power are tried out on universities. “All of this is purely informa tional, and not intended to cause great concern. A&M is not in trou ble with anyone in the state or the federal government, except for the possible exception of the Poole ver sus Jack Williams case,” said Wil liams. He invited everyone to attend “Godspell,” saying that Dr. Joy had done a marvelous job with the pro duction and that the kids deserved really large crowds. The council then approved the recommendations of the Cur riculum Committee concerning the addition of several new courses. Several courses were withdrawn. The council agreed to take a proposal to the Board of Directors to offer a Master of Public Administra tion degree. All of the candidates for under graduate degrees were passed by a voice vote. There will be nearly 2,300 graduates this spring, the largest number ever to graduate in a single class. For the ceremony on Friday, May 9, the speaker will be Dr. J. Boyd Page, president of the Graduate Council in the U.S. For Saturday, May 10, the speaker will be Jim Aston, chairman of the board of the Republic Corporation of Texas and former president of Re public National Bank of Dallas. Aston is an A&M graduate. Dr. John Koldus asked that the council consider the recommenda tions of the University Rules and Regulations Committee, so that they might be incorporated in the Rules and Regulations Handbook for distribution to the students at freshman orientations. Dr. Wil liams suggested that “we delay this whole operation, since the group hasn’t had a chance to study the proposals.” The rules changes were set to be the first item on the agenda for the next meeting, which will be held May 22.

However, Dr. Claude Goswick reported Wednesday “a very defi nite prospect who may be in terested in coming to Texas A&M. If everything works out, the Health Center could have a full-time gynecologist next fall.

New appointments for’^ ■ ^ the summer session will not be ^ made until that session begins.

Originally, the gift of the Texas A&M Class of 1938, the fountain is between Sbisa Hall and the Univer sity Health Center. It was the former site of yell leader dunkings after football wins. “The bottom is cracked, the pump’s broken and its pipes are rusted,” explained DeWitt. Work ing with Physical Plant personnel, the class has arranged to renovate the “Fish Pond,” including widen ing and deepening it. Work will begin soon.
